Than you group

[PeaceNeed]

I wanted to thank people in group who took time to repond to my rants. Ive worn out my welcome with family and no real friends anymore.This illness causes you to experience a toxic mix of anger,depression and anxiety. This is a real turn off for people who dont understand the disorder I have.

Hi Max

I feel the same way. It's like we drain people because they don't understand what it's like to have a mental illness.

That's why being here is so helpful. We " get " each other. The stories are all different but we have many things in common. Dealing with people who don't understand is one of them

Hi Max2012 You weren't ranting love, just expressing your feelings and emotions. It's amazing to have this forum with like minded lovely people who really understand what we go through with various mental health issues. so many do not understand because its an unseen illness not physical if you get me. That can be very hard especially when reaching out for help and support love and advice. I so happy you were able to talk on the forum and please God you can get the support help advice and caring love from all the wonderful people on here. God bless take care one day at a time.

Hugs 🫂 🤗 E.B.

Anxiety eats away at your very being until you dont recognize the person staring back at you in the mirror.

Thank you for response and understanding.

I feel you about anger. It is the aspect of my mental health causes guilt, frustration and shame. It is a very confusing and complex thing at times. I don’t question other folks right to have anger but I question my own.

Work in progress 🤔

Mine has alienated me from people who could have been of help to me.

You're welcome to rant away anytime you want or feel the need to, I know it feels good to be heard and know we aren't alone.

I like the phrase “rant away”. I stepped away from this site for a bit but realized I really got something from postings and replying to the people on here. Definitely feels good to be understood here in ways our family or friends don’t.

[designguy in reply to Willow2022]

I agree, It definitely feels good to know we aren't alone in our struggles and feel validated here.

[PeaceNeed in reply to designguy]

It still hurts when ur brother says he cant stand to be around you or you ho to a social program for people with psych disorders and even they reject you.

[designguy in reply to PeaceNeed]

Yes it does but the truth is that it's not about you, he's dealing with his own crap and directing it at you. If you are not working with a therapist it would be beneficial to you to find one and work with them so they can help validate you. A lot of my anxiety/depression was from repressed anger and growing up with an emotionally abusive family. In therapy I started working to get in touch with my anger and vent it and process it by beating the crap out of pillows and venting at who or what I was angry about. I then started doing it at home any time I felt triggered and over time it helped and I felt better.
